Bee Boisseau performs a groove-based kind of jazz that often falls on the smooth side of things but the group can also veer into grooving electro-funk a la the Head Hunters. He sometimes devotes sets to reworkings of Coltrane and and other acoustic jazz titans in this funkier format. He holds forth at “The Stew” jam session Monday nights at Bin 1301.
